Kirill Kabanov revisited, it's a boom or bust for a prospect many teams said they would not touch, and not the trade up for Brock Nelson in a better pool of talent. In this draft class, it's not a bad gamble with his obvious skill to cash in pick #57. One thing for sure, he's highly outspoken given his comments.
One of the two players who's video I did watch, some nice goals, few on outside shots, many on broken plays.
Reading the articles about him, he seemed to be treated a lot like the team that drafted him, by some media, which means he will have no help at all with the worst media for any team in North America covering him.
I'm aware of Garth Snow's comments, only interested in the hockey. NBCSN loves ending draft coverage on time.
